TEAM PUCCETTI
Based in Reggio Emilia, Italy, the Kawasaki Puccetti Racing team has made impressive progress in recent seasons, winning three Superstock 600 European Championship titles with three different riders and most recently taking the 2015 FIM Supersport World Championship with WSS legend Kenan Sofuoglu.
Former racer Manuel Puccetti started his full-time career in team management after the end of his on-track efforts in 2006. Since then he has built his own team from national level to an efficient structure that supports reigning champion Sofuoglu.
Switching to Kawasaki in 2007 the Puccetti effort has evolved at an organic, realistic pace, the team’s ambition to succeed putting them on a strong footing as they moved through the ranks in confident stages.
Solely a race-team, with no engine tuning or dealership arm, Puccetti has built the most successful 600 Superstock team into WSS leading lights by clever use of resources and a grounded attitude to tackling their next challenge. With recent Moto2 rider Randy Krummenacher joining the team in 2016 the challenge in WSS is now to provide for the needs of two experienced riders under a new set of technical regulations.
As well as returning in 2016 in their traditional Superstock 600 and WSS guises, the team has also expanded to include a Superstock 1000 FIM Cup entry, with their recent stellar champion in the Superstock 600 European Championship, Toprak Razgatlioglu.
